Default What problems could I encounter using 301 mod_rewrite?

Hi,

I have a site that currently has over 300 pages. This site has been built using standard HTML. I am thinking about converting the site using Joomla.

The site has quite good rankings in search engines so I am going to use mod_rewrite (via the admin control panel) to set up 301 redirects to try and keep them.

My question is - am I likely to encounter any problems with the .htaccess file and the 300+ redirects contained within? Is there a maximum size for a .htaccess file? Would multiple requests for different pages at the same time cause problems? I have asked my hosting company and they have said there should be no problem, but I would like some further advice before I proceed.

Thanks.
